THE WORST IS YET TO COME...

According to Revelation the worst is yet to come. What this guy says matters little.
That was a very short video. He sounded like a charismatic Christian preacher! It was so similar!
I think that the worst is behind us in some ways. For instance I think that the potential for the standard of living for everyone is increasing. I'm not claiming that everyone has a better standard of living but that in the past there was no way anybody could have lived like we do today. Even kings did not have our way of life, our foods, our abilities and transportation. They were poppers compared to 60% of modern people. Things have gotten so much better.

The amount of utter poverty has gone down tremendously. Today's wars are much less destructive than 50 years ago. And in other ways, mostly quiet and subtle, things are getting better.
If I were a Christian, I'd be happy that the "day of the Lord" is being born "as a thief in the night".

What are we suppose to be debating here, or is this just proselytizing?

Can anyone actually be bothered working up a debate about something that Farrakhan says? It's hardly worth the bother.
Just checked Wiki and this did make my jaw drop. <Source>
Dianetics (read... Scientology)... LOL.... it doesn't get much more lunatic fringe that this kumquat.Wiki said:
I find “the worst is yet to come” to be too imprecise and vague a statement to be tested against, but agree with the wisdom of choosing correct actions.
I am a long term optimist, but I consider this view too optimistic. At present the hostility between religions, the peak of the combined economic/political/environmental crisis has not been reached.
More to follow . . .

This is what I remember of Farrakhan;
the 1995 Million Man March on Washington, D.C.
Farrakhan penned the song "A White Man's Heaven Is a Black Man's Hell"
Is there not some truth to that?
